>What is free will? It's the capability to choose for yourself what actions to take, free of moral constraints imposed by others. This is even more striking when you consider that we humans are the only species that make moral judgments and interpretations with our minds. If we have free will, then we also have a feeling of freedom, of choice, of freedom of speech, of mind, and of life itself.

>We are endowed with free will because that's what it means to be human. However, we are not really free. Since we are so far removed from ourselves, we can be lazy. We can be gullible. We can be simple-minded and ignorant. If we accept that we are in charge of our own life, we cannot be free from that. Once you realize that your laziness is a form of desire, not willpower, then you can transcend it.
